Again the NY Times is blatantly misleading the public! The following letter was sent to Jeri Clausing, a NY Times reporter bringing the disinformative article to her attention. Please read her article and then send her a "reminder" of her accountability to the public. Journalism requires thourough research and not just reliance on the press releases from NSI's IAHC's, of DoC's pr agencies. Wheather it's just pure laziness or wheather Ms. Clausing is following an agenda of some sort, it still adds up to dishonest and disinformative reporting. You can email to Jeri Clausing at jeri@nytimes.com. While you're at it, please cc it to her boss: cybertim@nytimes.com, rofixm@nytimes.com ----------full text of message follows--------- To: jeri@nytimes.com From: pgp@pgmedia.net (pgMedia) Subject: Disinfo In the NY Times---again? Cc: cybertim@nytimes.com, rofixm@nytimes.com Message-ID: <1340460904-6466563@MediaFilter.org> X-UIDL: 2ad5cdbc00a0fb68ba0a56b3fd2d9ae5 Dear Jeri Clausing, In your August 15 article in Cybertimes entitled "Public Jumps into the Domain Name Dispute" you failed to mention some key facts which are factors in the current Domain Name issue. First, the petition being widely endorsed in support of pgMedia, Inc.'s NAME.SPACE service, was not mentioned in your article, although it represents a significant percentage of the number of total replies received to date by the US Department of Commerce. The petition is located at http://petition.name.space.xs2.net Second, you failed to report the fact that pgMedia, Inc. is currently engaged in litigation against Network Solutions, Inc., a significant and influencing factor in this whole discussion. (http://name.space.xs2.net/law) These blatant omissions are patently misleading to the public and fail to give a fair overview of the entire situation. Wheather you are underinformed on this issue, or wheather you consciously choose to abridge the facts to suit your personal agenda or that of your employer, the New York Times, you are doing a disservice to the public by exercising such journalistic irresponsibility. I had higher expectations for those who write for the NY Times, and this opportunity to see how news is shaped and manufactured has been highly enlightening. Had I not been involved deeply and first-hand in this issue and had there not been so much reported about my comapny in the media, including the NY Times, concerning pgMedia/Name.Space's role in the changing domain name space, the Anti Trust Litigation against Network Solutions, and the US Department of Justice's involvement, I would have also been disinformed by your reporting. If you have any interest in informing yourself fully on the details absent in your reporting, please feel free to contact me at 212.677.4080. I will be happy to meet with you and demonstrate the name.space service and answer any qusetions you may have...and I'll forgive you if you really were unaware! Best regards, Paul Garrin president pgMedia, Inc./NAME.SPACE http://name.space http://name.space.xs2.net
